Anyhow, I hope you can tweak it to your liking because it's gorgeous to me and I like your styling in these pictures as well.Levonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834652050097719369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33406737.post-7233404812421017402015-11-30T20:53:39.106-06:002015-11-30T20:53:39.106-06:00I love it on you!

Try tapering the sleeves and even shortening them slightly. Maybe you're just not used to that much ease in the body, but from the photos it looks great.

What may be throwing you is that I think the print placement along your shoulders the white is making your shoulders appear broader then they really are. I think the pattern and think your changes will be perfect in your next garment.joenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07551890706236673783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33406737.post-18716617067444170832015-11-30T16:56:39.965-06:002015-11-30T16:56:39.965-06:00I also think this looks very nice on you.

I can understand wanting to take it in if you feel there's too much fabric, but what about adding a belt or tie (if you have any of the fabric left). You did such a great job, I'd give it another go. Aren't we sometimes our worst critics?!Donna G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01604106557420287906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33406737.post-30396499006608538612015-11-30T12:34:54.604-06:002015-11-30T12:34:54.604-06:00I love this cardigan on you.

We used a rubber band or pony tail elastic (comes in colors) just around the wrist and them pushed the sleeves up and they stayed. The fabric folds covered the elastic.patsijeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362426384481772370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33406737.post-38507604516962221312015-11-30T11:24:03.855-06:002015-11-30T11:24:03.855-06:00I would take it up on the sides, taper the sleeves...I would take it up on the sides, taper the sleeves, and try it with a belt. I find that large sleeves make everything look bulky, and a few inches off the side will make it sit closer to your body. It's such a good pairing of fabric and pattern that it would be a shame not to tweak it to be perfect!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462567533461971898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33406737.post-1621408953030839672015-11-30T09:57:16.119-06:002015-11-30T09:57:16.119-06:00Beautiful cardigan, I love your fabric choiceBeautiful cardigan, I love your fabric choiceAminathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365142211845528219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33406737.post-2751953077863551472015-11-30T09:54:57.599-06:002015-11-30T09:54:57.599-06:00I adore this cardigan.

I also find that knit patterns run too big and the sleeve never stay put and I too end up taking them in.
